Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

"Tian Yuze, you kid, who told you to report me? Are you my brother? How dare you destroy me like this?" Tian Xing'er pulled several classmates and dragged Tian Yuze to a corner before leaving the academy. She wanted to go to another place and put a sack on her brother, but unfortunately her teammates were not strong enough.

"Sister, you actually found someone to stop me. I'm going home to tell Dad." Tian Yuze got angry when he saw that it was his sister who found the person.

"Humph, who told you to always mess with me? Why did you go to the teacher to complain again?"

"I just don't want to see you ruin the reputation of the academy. I'm doing this for your own good, sister. Please ask them to let me go." Tian Yuze felt that he needed to correct his sister's behavior. His eldest brother was about to come back, and his sister was still so idle. What should he do?

"If you don't let go, we can exchange some things during the lunch break. What's the matter with you? Don't listen to my brother, let's all teach him a lesson." Tian Xing'er was too lazy to talk nonsense with his younger brother, he asked with a lot of crooked reasons.

"Sister Xing'er, you really have to beat him up. He's your own brother. Although he's a bit nasty at times, he's not bad at all."

"Yes, Sister Xing'er, he has copied notes for me and helped me with quizzes in class. Isn't that a bit bad?"

Tian Xing'er didn't expect that her younger brother was quite good at winning people's hearts.

"Tian Yuze, you are really good." Looking at her brother, she was furious, "If you don't beat him, I will." As she said that, Tian Xing'er took the teacher's ruler from the academy and spanked her brother 10 times.

"Don't forget, it's because of this kid's arrival that our academic workload is so heavy now. Before he came, everyone was very relaxed." Tian Xing'er thought of her younger brother who was as good at studying as her eldest brother, which caused her to be often used as a negative example by the teacher.

"That's right. Then, brother Yuze, we're sorry, but we just started fighting." Thinking of this, everyone had suffered a lot at the hands of Tian Yuze, and they were beaten with the stick much more often than before.

Seeing that everyone had finally beaten his brother, Tian Xing'er was satisfied and went to find his servant to take the man back.

I didn't expect that when I got home, I heard that my eldest brother had returned.

Tian Xing'er was very scared. She had beaten her own brother today. If her elder brother knew about it, she didn't know what punishment she would have to take. In all these years, she was most afraid of her elder brother, the so-called strict father.

Her elder brother always made her feel that nothing in this world could stump him, especially when it came to studying. Now that her elder brother was 16 years old, he usually went to school in the provincial capital and was rarely at home, so Tian Xing'er became so bold.

"Brother, you're back. You must be tired. Have you eaten? Do you want to take a rest?" As soon as Tian Xing'er got off the carriage, she saw her brother standing here, as if he was waiting for them.

"Brother, we are back." Then Tian Yuze also came down. Tian Xing'er and the others didn't really hit him hard just now, and they just hit him on the buttocks, which would heal soon.

When she saw Tian Yuze coming down, Tian Xing'er's heart finally settled down. She was afraid that this kid would tell her elder brother about it.

"You're all back. I came just in time to look for you. Come in and have dinner first. Mother has made a lot of delicious food." The eldest brother Tian Yuyu seemed to be in a good mood.

"Yes, big brother." After waiting for a while, Tian Yuze still didn't speak. Tian Xing'er wondered if this boy was going to reveal the truth at the dinner table, but she could only take it one step at a time.

I didn't expect that even Aunt Liu would come out today when my eldest brother returned home. Usually, Aunt Liu would not show up unless it was a special day. It's not that Tian Xing'er's mother didn't allow it, but Aunt Liu herself didn't want to. Tian Xing'er's mother, Xu, was a reasonable person and would not make things difficult for the concubine.

At that time, my grandfather in the capital saw that his mother had given birth to an eldest brother and there had been no movement in her belly for several years, so they insisted on adding another person to his father's family. Aunt Liu was chosen by his mother, Xu. Fortunately, she was found to be a good person in the end and did not cause trouble.

Tian Xing'er's father was from Hu County, a sixth-rank county magistrate. Hu County was considered a high-ranking county. His mother, Xu, was the daughter of a declining family, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. When she married Tian Xing'er's father, she had a considerable dowry and many hidden cards. His parents liked each other, and his father might have liked his mother more, otherwise his grandfather would not have agreed to this marriage.

The Tian family has a total of five children, three sons and two daughters. Tian Xing'er is the eldest daughter of the Tian family. Xu has three sons, the eldest brother Tian Yuyu is 3 years old, Tian Xing'er is 16 years old, and the younger brother Tian Yuze is the third son and is 8 years old this year.

There was only one concubine, Liu, in the family. She had two sons, the second brother Tian Yuheng, 14 years old, and the younger sister Tian Fuer, 7 years old, a few months younger than Tian Yuze.

"It's rare for Yu'er to come back today, so I called everyone out. It's better when the whole family is together. Wait a moment, and when your father arrives, we'll have dinner." Mrs. Xu usually likes lively occasions and likes to have the whole family together.

But Aunt Liu likes quietness, so they don't talk much. Aunt Liu is also cautious in everything, as if she is afraid of doing something wrong. Fortunately, Tian Xing'er's father, Magistrate Tian, ​​had foresight. He handed over the upbringing of several children to Xu. Usually, several sons and daughters study together, unlike other families, who divide them into banished sons, illegitimate sons, etc.

Because the relationship between the children is better, except for Tian Yuze and Tian Xing'er. I don't know when they started to act like enemies in the academy. In fact, it was mainly because Tian Yuze always made trouble for Tian Xing'er, so the two of them were always quarreling, but when they returned home, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Just like when the eldest brother was here just now, Tian Yuze did not report Tian Xing'er, otherwise Tian Xing'er would have suffered today.

After a while, County Magistrate Tian also left the yamen and returned home.

"Why don't you eat first? I don't have a fixed time to go to the yamen now, so you don't have to wait for me in the future. By the way, Yu'er, how is the academy? Why did you come back suddenly today?" County Magistrate Tian only knew that his eldest son had returned not long ago when Xu sent someone to inform him. He left the yamen earlier than usual and appeared at the dinner table on time.

"There's nothing wrong with the academy. This time, the teacher of the academy had something to do at home yesterday, so he took a ten-day leave. Those of us who live close to home have all returned."

“Then there are a lot of articles to write!”

"Yes, sir, you left a lot, but not much. I can finish it in a day or two."

"That's good. Then, you and your brothers will go to the government office with me these few days to learn some government affairs and get in touch with more people's affairs. In this way, the articles you write in the future will be more practical." County Magistrate Tian always liked to take advantage of his own children. He called it learning, but in fact he just wanted to find a few free helpers.

"Master, why did you come back? It's rare for Yu'er to come home, and you asked him to work for you. I feel bad for him, and I won't allow it." Xu was a little unhappy. Her own son must have been studying so hard, and now he just came back and had a few days of rest, but he was used like this by her husband.

"Well, I won't ask them to do much, just come here every morning, that's all. Tomorrow the rest of you will also have a ten-day break, so it's perfect for you all to come together."

"Yes, father." In fact, these things are quite nice to do, and can also train people. Tian Yuze and Nan Yuheng take the initiative to help during every ten-day break, but they only help in the morning, and the rest of the time is their free time.

"By the way, Yu'er, you just got home, so you may not know that a big teahouse has recently opened in the county. The food there is very good, and there is also a storyteller, who tells stories very well. You kids can go to the teahouse together tomorrow afternoon and sit down. Dad usually likes to take his colleagues there to listen to stories for a while."

County Magistrate Tian has recently become a little fascinated by the storyteller in the county, so he strongly recommended his son to go there, as it would be a good opportunity for him to relax.

When she said this, Tian Xing'er looked at her mother, and they both smiled, understanding what the other meant.
